the present system to finance the eu is the most unjust and unfair that there is. five of the richest countries pay relatively less than the 10 poorest ones. they are all new member states. parliament has proposed an overall reform based on new owned resources, and we are pleased what you have to say about that. france will fight. it accepts the principle. but you said the limitation is going to fight to put a seating on his own contribution which means of course making this tougher and more expensive for the poorest countries. the alchemist in the council might end up with some way of reducing, reducing the next seven years cohesion for expenditures for hunters like greece, portugal, spain, hungary. these countries need europe now more than ever before. they are suffering more than ever before. they have make more sacrifices than ever before and now we're deciding to help them even less. and, of course, they didn't have the political means to stand up and defend themselves. mr. president, going along with a compromise on such a basis is saying that you want a euro
